What to expect

'A glorious novel of love in all its forms - familial, romantic, lost, and found. Jennifer E. Smith is a ray of literary sunshine' Jenny Jackson

The four Endicott siblings - Gemma, Connor, Roddy, and Jude - were once inseparable. But decades later, the unthinkable has happened: they haven't spoken in years . . . until an out-of-the-blue text arrives from Jude, now a famous actress, summoning them to a small town in North Dakota.

They're each at a crossroads: Gemma, who put her own ambitions aside to raise the others, now isn't sure if she wants to be a mother herself. Connor, a celebrated novelist, is floundering after his recent divorce and suffering from an epic case of writer's block. And Roddy, at the tail end of a professional soccer career, is dangerously close to losing his future husband for the chance at one last season.

Jude is the only one who seems to have it all together-but appearances can be deceiving. As the weekend unfolds, they'll discover that she's been keeping three secrets . . . each of which could change everything.

'A captivating and joyful novel about siblings and family and the ties that bind us together. This is Jennifer E. Smith at her absolute best' Laura Dave
